Secure, staff-free access with BearLock
BearLock unlocks units only for logged-in customers and auto-locks overdue accounts—no staff needed. Works on most door types and integrates with the BearBox app.
How it works
Simple steps, fast access
Customer authenticates
Via the BearBox app, gate keypad, or a corridor QR Solo reader.
Unit unlocks
BearLock releases the unit assigned to this customer — no other units are affected.
Customer finishes
Leaves the unit area. BearLock detects departure and locks automatically.
Overlock if needed
If the account is overdue, BearLock overlocks on the next sync — no staff walkround needed.
Why it matters
Security that adapts to your operation
BearLock is what makes genuinely unmanned self-storage possible. Without automatic unit locks, "staff-free" only reaches as far as the gate — tenants still need someone to let them into roll-up doors, handle drop-offs, or come back to overlock overdue accounts. That's not staff-free, that's just reduced hours. BearLock closes the gap. Units unlock only for the paying tenant — via the Bearbox app or any device in the corridor — re-lock themselves when the tenant leaves, and overlock automatically when an account goes overdue — no walkround, no padlocks, no forgotten units. It fits swing doors, roller shutters, and sliding doors without replacing existing hardware, and every lock event is logged with timestamp and tenant. The operational saving compounds every week the site is open.
Units lock themselves
BearLock automatically re-locks a unit after the customer leaves — no staff intervention, no forgotten locks.
Overlock on overdue accounts
Units belonging to overdue accounts are overlocked automatically. Staff don't need to walk the site.
Works without a smartphone
BearLock can be triggered via the BearBox app, a gate or corridor keypad, or a QR Solo reader — covering customers who don't use a phone.
Works on most door types
Fits swing doors, roller shutters, and sliding doors — no need to replace existing door hardware.
Fully staff-free operation
Customers manage their own access from arrival to lock-up. Staff time is freed for higher-value tasks.
Full audit trail
Every lock and unlock event is logged with timestamp, unit ID, and customer — visible in the portal and app.
